Château Le Prieuré - Saint-Émilion Grand Cru - Red - 2011 :

 

Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé: A Right Bank Icon

Château LE PRIEURE, a celebrated Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé, is the quintessential expression of Bordeaux's Right Bank. Grown on the prestigious clay-limestone slopes of the plateau, this wine is predominantly Merlot, expertly blended with Cabernet Franc, resulting in a wine of exceptional structure, velvety texture, and profound aging capability. A truly luxurious addition to any cellar.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Intense, deep ruby hue.
• Aroma: A profound, complex nose revealing dark forest fruits (blackcurrant, plum), sweet baking spices (clove, vanilla), and tertiary hints of cedar and forest floor.
• Taste: Generous and powerful on the palate, yet beautifully balanced. It features persistent, polished tannins and a signature mineral tension that drives a long, distinguished finish.

Pairing & Service

Serve slightly cooler than room temperature, 16°C-18°C (61°F-64°F). Decant for an hour before serving to allow the wine to breathe and reveal its full spectrum of flavours. Ideal for classic British roasts and game dishes.
